STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 768,052, dated August23, 1904.

Application filed March 4, 1903.

To (LI/Z whom, it may concern:

Be it known that we, JOHN H. LANE and EU- GENE D. ALLEN, citizens of theUnited States, residingat Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State ofMichigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves,of which the following is a specification, reference being had thereinto the accompanying drawings.

The invention relates to a magazine-stove; and it consists in the novelconstruction of the magazine whereby the stored fuel is normally cut oiffrom the fire, but may at the will of the attendant be fed into thefire-pot in such quantities and in a manner as to reduce to a minimumthe formation of smoke andgases.

The invention further consists in the peculiar arrangement andcombination of the magazine parts and in various details, as will behereinafter set forth, in whicl1- Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of,a stove erribodying our invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of themagazine section; and Fig. 3 isa view in perspective of the movablepreferably composed detached.

The stove to which the invention is preferably applied comprises in itsconstruction an ash-pit section A, mounted upon a suitable base B, aninclosing casing C, the interior of. which constitutes thecombustion-chamber, and a smoke-pipe connection D. V

F represents the magazine-section, consisting of the magazine proper, G,having a fillopening H at its top adapted to be closed by a suitableswinging cover I and provided at its lower end with a plate J,preferably integral therewith and forming a portion of the stove-back.The magazine is preferably tapered, so that the discharge of the fueltherefrom will be restricted toa certain extent, and its inner wall, orwhat may be termed the bridge-wall K, for'ms'the remainder of thestove-back. This wall, as shown, is separated Serial No; 146,164. (Nomodel- In construction the cup is formed preferably of complementarysections R and S, each provided with apertured ears (0, which when theparts are assembled register and are connected by suitable bolts 6. Oneof the cup-sections carries a journal R, mounted in suitable hearings inone of the magazine sides. The opposite end has an apertured lug U, towhich is connected the member P by means of a suitable bolt 0. Thesection S of the receptacle M is preferably fiat, normally constitutinga part of the wall of the stove and closing the magazine and adapted toform a chute to discharge the contents when actuated. To prevent thefuel from clogging during the rota- Arranged within this tion of the cupwhen dumping, the parts are 1 so proportioned that a space or clearancewill be formed between its upper edge (0 and the lower edge of the upperplate K when the cup is in its discharging position. The discharge endof the magazine is also in such relation to the firepotin this instanceat one side of the combustion-chamber and at a considerable distanceabove'the fire-section-that the contents of the cup will be thrown inthe center of the fire-pot and spread evenly over the top of the fire inthe desired manner.

The parts being arrangedand combined in the manner set forth, it will beseen that means are provided that, in addition to preventing the cokingof the stored fuel, permit only a limited quantity to be delivered tothe fire, thus preventing the overcharging of the fire-pot and theformation of smoke and gases. To limit the forward rocking movement ofthe cup, a finger or stop W is formed thereon adapted to strike againstplate J. Movement in the opposite direction is controlled by the edge ofthe bottom of the cup abutting against the rear wall of the magazine.

Guide-plates Y are shown within the magazine, one on each side thereof,the lower edges of the plates being curved to conform with thecup-bottom. These plates are preferably used in magazines, the sides ofwhich project or bulge outwardly to give an ornamental appearance to thestove.

From the description of our invention it will be apparent that the feedmechanism is very simple and of economical construction and may be addedto heating-stoves without materially increasing the cost of theirproduction.

What we claim as our invention is 1. In a stove, the combination with amovable receptacle, of a magazine adapted to discharge therein, meansfor actuating the receptacle to discharge its contents into the fire-potof the stove, a portion of the movable receptacle being normallyarranged to constitute a part of the wall of the stove, whereby allproducts of combustion from the stove are excluded from the magazine,and guides upon the stove for the receptacle.

2. In a stove, the combination with a magazine, of a movable receptaclebelow and having a fill-opening normally communicating with themagazine, said receptacle being adjacent an opening in the stove, guideswithin the magazine, and means for oscillating the receptacle todischarge its contents directly into the fire-pot of the stove, aportion of the receptacle normally constituting a part of the wall ofthe stove, whereby the products of combustion from the stove areexcluded from the magazine.

3. In a stove, the combination of a magazine, of an oscillatory cupbeneath and normally communicating with the magazine, means foroscillating the cup to bring a portion thereof within the stove-body anddischarge its contents into the fire-pot of the stove, a portion of thereceptacle being shaped in conformity with the wall of the stove andnormallyconstituting apartoi' said wall whereby the products ofcombustion from the stove are excluded from the magazine, and a stop onthe receptacle arranged to engage the inner surface of the stove.

4. In a stove, the combination with a firepot, of a closed casingthereabove forming a combustion-chamber, a magazine adapted to dischargeits contents within the fire-pot, a portion of said. closed casingcomprising an oscillatory cup at the discharge end of the magazine,having a fill-openingnormally communicating with the latter, means foroscillating the cup to bring a portion thereof through an opening in thestove to discharge its contents therein, and guideways upon themagazine.

5. The combination with a stove-bod y having an outwardly-extendedportion, forming a magazine, of a movable receptacle normally closingthe lower end thereof, and arranged to receive the discharge therefromand move to a point within the stove to deliver said discharge into thefire-pot of the stove.

6. The combination with a stove-body, normally closed throughout, havingan outward lyextended portion, forming a magazine with an opening at itslower end, of an oscillatory receptacle communicating with said openingfor receiving the discharge from the magazine and delivering the sameinto the lire-pot oi the stove, and means on the receptacle for limitingthe movement of the same.
